Yes. Tasmanian Devils are carnivorous, and they are members of the dasyuridae family, meaning the carnivorous marsupials.

Tasmanian devils eat a variety of small prey such as snakes, rodents, insects, larvae, birds, fish and mammals such as small wallabies and wombats. Tasmanian devils are also scavengers, meaning they eat carrion (dead animals and road kill).
